Welcome
to the 31st AES International Conference

The
31st International Audio Engineering Society Conference, entitled
"New Directions in High Resolution Audio",
will be held at Queen Mary, University of London, from June 25th-27th,
2007.

This Conference is concerned with the promotion and delivery of high
resolution audio, by maintaining quality throughout the recording and
playback chain with current and future technologies. It reflects
the tremendous recent growth of high resolution audio techniques and products
intended for use throughout the audio recording and playback chain. However,
issues remain on how to avoid bottlenecks where quality is compromised,
and how to maintain and encourage high resolution audio in an everchanging
marketplace. These concerns are of interest to the audio engineering,
recording and production industries, as well as to education and academia.

We aim
to provide a place for the exchange of news, issues and results, by bringing
together researchers , developers, educators, students and professional
users, working in fields that contribute to high resolution audio, to
present original theoretical or practical work. It also serves as a discussion
forum, provides introductory and in-depth information in specific domains,
and showcases current products.
